As always, there's some American oak in the mix, but that proportion is evolving downward. Redcurrants and cherries are joined by gentle dusty earth notes and hints of vanilla and cedar on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is a bit more dusty and drying than the 2021, yet it remains soft and approachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker's Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Cabernet Sauvignon opens with an enticing bouquet of black and red fruits - juicy black cherry intertwined with fresh pomegranate and bright cassis.
